We were unable to get confirmation at that time, but the location is now draped with Asian-inspired imagery, which tells us the move is likely happening soon.
Hawkers Asian Street Fare opened its first location in Orlando in 2011. Since then they have expanded to South Florida, Atlanta, Nashville, and more! It looks like Bethesda will be next!
We were informed of the closing last week, but management told us that the restaurant would be staying open. Earlier this afternoon we were told that today would be the last day for the Bethesda restaurant.
Crave has 10 other locations nationwide, primarily in Minnesota (with locations in South Dakota and Iowa as well). They were in Montgomery Mall for a little over 4 years.

In addition to tacos they will serve items like, chips and salsa/queso, nachos, crispy rolls, grilled meat sticks, street corn, and more.
Agrodolce was at that location for exactly 20 years and was a big part of the community.
Owners Lena and Phil Burleson posted the following on the Agrodolce Facebook page today:
It will be located at 15614 Columbia Pike, next to Greenan Jewelers, in the old home of Scottrade.
It will be located next to Buffalo Wild Wings At 33 Maryland Ave. in Rockville Town Center. They will offer high quality tea and what look to be “instagrammable” desserts.
According to their website, “BBQ” doesn’t stand for barbecue, it stands for “Best of the Best Quality!”
Their menu offers a wide variety of starters, including waffle fries with nacho cheese, kimchi chicken sliders, and many different flavors of their olive chicken strips.
The new restaurant is owned by the same BurgerFi franchisee who operates BurgerFi restaurants in Silver Spring, MD and Woodbridge, VA.
